Five tests for adjusting the lockdown

1. The NHS has sufficient capacity to provide critical care and specialist treatment right across the UK.

2. A sustained and consistent fall in daily deaths from Coronavirus.

3. Reliable data to show that the rate of infection is decreasing to manageable levels across the board.

4. Operational challenges including testing and PPE are in hand with supply able to meet future demand.

5. Confident that any adjustments to the current measures will not risk a second peak of infections that overwhelms the NHS. New Cases (UK)

Cases are reported when lab tests are completed. This may be a few days after initial testing. Testing capacity is increasing, the number of observed cases has remained stable over the last 7 days, though there are likely many more cases than currently recorded here.

Country data is aligned by stage of the outbreak. Day 0 equals the first day **50 cumulative deaths were reported**. Different countries have different methods of counting COVID-19 deaths which means it is difficult to compare statistics across countries.
